The Business Record is seeking nominations for our 18th annual Forty Under 40 awards. Candidates will be judged on both professional accomplishment and involvement with civic organizations. Nominees must be less than 40 years of age as of March 29, 2017 to be considered for recognition.

Nominations must be received by noon on Friday January 13, 2017.

The Forty Under 40 awards are given annually to 40 local business leaders under the age of 40 for their career achievements and community involvement. Winners are chosen by a panel of past recipients who weigh equally business successes and civic/philanthropic activities.

A profile story is written about honoree and published in the Business Record and an event to honor each of the honorees is held annually and is attended by more than 450 business and community leaders, friends, families and honorees.
